Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 17m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 slices bacon, cut crosswise into thin strips
2 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 large eggs
8 cups mesclun salad greens (about 7 ounces)
4 to 8 slices crusty bread, toasted if desired

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel. Pull the skillet from the heat (leave drippings in the skillet) and stir in 1 12 tablespoons cider vinegar, scraping up any browned bits clinging to the skillet. Pour the mixture into a large bowl and whisk in mustard, salt and pepper to taste, and olive oil.
  • Fill a nonstick skillet with about 2 inches of water and bring it to the barest simmer over medium heat; add the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar. Crack the eggs, slipping them gently into the water, and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes.
  • While the eggs poach, toss the greens with the vinaigrette and bits of bacon. Divide the salad among 4 plates or shallow bowls. Using a slotted spoon, gently scoop the eggs from the water, blot dry with a paper towel, and place 2 of them on top of each salad. Add bread to each plate and serve.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
8 ounces haricots verts or green beans, trimmed
4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
2 heads frisee, torn (about 8 cups)
1 head Belgian endive, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, tarragon or a combination)
1 small shallot, minced
Freshly ground pepper
4 large eggs
1/2 baguette, sliced and lightly toasted

Steps:

  • Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the haricots verts and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water; transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Refill the pot with water and bring to a simmer.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Pour the drippings into a large bowl; whisk in 2 tablespoons vinegar and the mustard until smooth. Add the frisee, endive, haricots verts, herbs, shallot, bacon, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; toss.
  • Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar to the simmering water. Reduce the heat to low. Crack each egg into a ramekin or teacup, then gently slip into the water. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  • Divide the salad among plates. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon, blot dry on a paper towel, then transfer to the salads. Season with salt and pepper and serve with the baguette.

SPINACH, BACON & MUSHROOM SALAD



Spinach, Bacon & Mushroom Salad image

The evening before our oldest son was born, I made a big bowl of this--a friend had told me that spinach was full of Vitamin K, which was supposed to help with nosebleeds (which I'd been having). Even though my water had already broke, I went ahead and ate supper--figuring a first baby would take its time showing up. And I was right---it was almost exactly 24 hours later before he was born. The following year, we had this for his birthday dinner (along with Spaghetti Alla Carbonara--which was "leftovers" for supper the night before he was born). That started a family tradition, so when each of our children was born, we made a note of our dinner menu--so their birthday dinners are very special!

  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different greens: Arugula, spinach, and kale are all great options for a bistro salad. You can also use a mix of different greens for a more complex flavor.
  • Cook the bacon until it's crispy: This will help to add flavor and texture to the salad. You can cook the bacon in a skillet or in the oven.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a healthy and flavorful choice for dressing a salad. You can also use a vinaigrette or a creamy dressing, if you prefer.
